Trump said he will soon declare the Strait of Hormuz "U.S. territory" after defeating Iran. He called a blockade of Iran "unstoppable" and a "wall of steel," and said the U.S. is fully prepared to respond to Iran, will not allow Iran to continue related actions or to acquire nuclear weapons. He said U.S. consumers would pay only a very small price for higher gasoline, said he did not care about hitting Iran's economy before the midterms, and said the U.S. has made a lot of money from tariffs.
